Application of Titanium Elastic Nails for Treating Pediatric Tibial Shaft Fractures

Key Points

• This research examines the effectiveness of titanium elastic nails in treating tibial shaft fractures in children.
• Participants included pediatric patients with tibial shaft fractures.
• Titanium elastic nails were applied surgically for fracture fixation.
• Outcome measures focused on healing time and functional recovery.
• Significant reduction in healing time was observed with titanium elastic nails (average 6 weeks).
• 85% of patients achieved full functional recovery at 3 months post-surgery.
• No major complications were reported related to the implant.
